I love a good, juicy red grapefruit just as a snack. It's quite a different experience if you peel it and eat like an orange. And thanks for the comment about the photo--it was the colors of the salad that drew me in the first place! Cakespy, I think you've hit it perfectly--it's those combinations of flavors that do make this work, somehow! Unusual, but works! :) Johanna,

I'll bet the tartness of the grapefruit would work beautifully with the taste--it sure looks gorgeous!

I think I associate grapefruit with my mother trying to eat a healthy breakfast in the days when I would much prefer coco pops cereal and peanut butter on toast!

And thanks for the words of encouragement--they helped! :) VeggieGirl, They're probably worth another try :) . And thanks for the support--yes, health is more important than weight loss! magpie, It did turn out to be a pretty good combination--best I've found for radishes, so far, anyway! Dani, Glad you like it! And nice to know that someone out there does actually love radishes! ;) shellyfish, I'm the same way--hardly ever eat 'em. But this salad is something I'd have again. Karen, How could I read your comment and NOT go look? Sounds wonderful--the radishes would be jealous ;) Lisa, So glad you liked it! And I can't wait to check out more mint-based recipes--I always find something I like over at your blog! Susan, I think you're right; it's the strength of the grapefruit that actually makes the radish more appealing. CCV, Yay! Another new food to try. They really are pretty good this way! (Oh, and I deleted the other 2 identical comments--how weird!). Romina,
